About Me: I work part-time so I can do animal rights activism in my spare time. My primary activity is Vegan Outreach's Adopt-A-College program.
I've participated in open rescues, tabling, demos, letter writing etc.... and the most fun and effective way I've found to help animals is leafleting colleges. Go to http://www.veganoutreach.org and click on adopt-a-college for more info.
How I became a veggie: I saw a video of a sheep being sheared and then thrown over a fence. That made me not want to support animals being used for profit in any way shape or form any more.
Seeing the film "Peaceable Kingdom" and "Meet Your Meat" reinforced that choice. See and show others "Meet Your Meat" by sending them to http://www.meat.org
